$ The Gatherers $

All worshippers of the mighty god Galduron, Lord of Wealth and Commerce, have the common attribute of an overwhelming sense of greed and self- indulgence. In line with this trait, Galduron grants his followers the use of an interdimensional portal to the vault of the Temple of Galduron in Sanctuary. The portal takes the form of a flexible hoop, which acts as a focus for the energies required for crossing unimaginable distances. Using this hoop, followers can place items into and retrieve them from the main vault. With great concentration, the true followers of Galduron may use their vision to cross the boundaries of the portal to gain knowledge of what is stored in the vault. But, be warned, Galduron considers all items placed within his vault to belong to all of his Gatherers, not just the one who placed it there. As well, the vault has a maximum capacity of five hundred items; when this capacity is exceeded, the excess items will be converted to gold according to their value, starting with the least valuable items, and the proceeds distributed among the Gatherers.

Change #6439
Galduron's Vault (also known as the place where things go when Gatherers put them in the hoop) now transforms objects into wealth automatically when they are placed in the vault. Caution should be taken not to place things in the hoop that you want to continue existing as things other than gold coins. The amount of gold produced by this effect is, on average, roughly what you would get from selling the items to an indifferent vendor with moderate parity in one's respective haggling skills (ie a roughly average amount relative to what is possible for an expert haggler/trader).

In order to maintain the favor of Galduron, all followers must maintain a certain level of value either in the bank or on their person, in the form of both coinage and the value of carried objects. Those who fail to maintain the favor of Galduron in this manner will be stricken with illnesses stemming from their greed.

Unlike his brother gods, Vashanka and Doppel, Galduron bears no grudges towards them. He simply wishes to amass the greatest wealth of any being, and he wants his followers to attempt the same.

Should there be any member of the Gatherers that does not provide to the common wealth, five Gatherers may cast a vote to expel him, or Galduron may decide by divine authority that a member should no longer be allowed to use the powers of the hoop.

The magical hoop you carry as a symbol of your devotion to Galduron will respond to the following commands: 

 $ l<ook> in hoop $
   shows you the contents of the hoop not yet transported because
   of magical interference
 $ l<ook> through hoop $
   shows you the contents of the vault in the Temple of Galduron
   at Sanctuary
 $ get/take <item(s)> from hoop $
   retrieves something from the vault or hoop
 $ put <item(s)> in hoop $
   puts something inside the hoop to be transferred to the vault
 $ sell <item(s)> from hoop $
   sells something directly from the vault

Change #6340
Members of the Gatherers are now capable of providing banking services in the same manner as NPC priests of Galduron. Members can check 'help banking services' and related files for assistance with the syntax.

help start banking services
Gatherer Service Activity Usage: start providing banking services

Causes you to begin providing banking services. While providing banking services, you will operate as a banker and allow others to deposit or withdraw currency into savings accounts as well as being capable of opening or closing such accounts.

You are now a second-degree specialist in finance. The priest of Jinx nods approvingly at you. The priest of Jinx says, $Welcome to Jinxian Plutocracy, wealthy one.$ in Anglic. The priest of Jinx gives you a large gold hoop. The priest of Jinx says, $This hoop will provide you with access to Jinx's vault, which the Plutocracy uses in the accumulation of sacred lucre. It lies to the west, behind a secret door.$ in Anglic

To receive instruction regarding the worship of the god Jinx, say 'Tell me about the Jinxian Plutocracy'. To join Jinx's followers, say 'I wish to devote myself to Jinx'. To renounce your faith, say 'I wish to leave the worship of Jinx'. The priest of Jinx's limbs are named head, chest, right arm, left arm, right hand, left hand, right leg, left leg, right foot and left foot. The priest of Jinx was created by Giliath, who wishes to credit Fritz Leiber as inspiring this work; the source code was last updated Wed Jan 31 04:43:44 2007. The human race was created by Lost Souls; the source code was last updated Sun Nov 11 17:04:27 2007.

  • Valere buzzes, 'I always get in successfully with 50k in the bank.' 
You buzz, 'I wish to devote myself to Jinx' in chitteringly-accented Anglic.
The priest of Jinx says, $As a Verynvelyr, you could not become a seeker of gold by joining the Jinxian Plutocracy.$ to you.
